Requires marinating for at least 3 hours or preferably 24 hours. Can substitute the book's "Easy flatbreads" for pita bread, and chicken breast fillets for chicken thigh fillets.

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

It’s worth the time squeezing the water out of the cucumber for tzatziki. Makes it thick and creamy

Great combination of flavors easy to prep and marinate ahead of time.

I prepped the tzatziki and salad ahead of time and it made for an easy and super quick dinner. I also doubled the tzatziki it was so delicious.

I butterflied a 9 oz breast for the 2 us, used the air fryer & we agree that this is definitely all about the marinade. I drained a big spoonful of regular yogurt which worked fine. We made wraps with our favourite store bought tzatziki, romaine spears, chopped tomatoes, a mix of pickled things (red onions, matchstick carrots + Fresnos) & feta. I had tortillas that needed using but her easy flatbreads are on the "to make list" for sure. This is a great idea worth repeating.

So easy and tasty. This is another recipe (like Nagi's chicken schwarma) that I've made successfully when hosting and various guests have asked for the recipe.

Very flavourful and delicious. I broiled the thighs instead of cooking them stovetop.

I just made the chicken to accompany Ina's Greek orzo salad. The chicken (thighs) marinated 8 hours, then cooked on the grill per the note. The chicken was really tasty. Note: she says you might not need to oil the grill, but I did, and the chicken still stuck a little bit.

This dish is really tasty! It took me a bit longer to make, but that's probably just because I take my time prepping (I'm a bit too methodical). I might try doing the chicken thighs in the oven next time (I don't like frying chicken on the stove).
